The Federated Companies Selects The Dartmouth Company and WRE Commercial Brokers as Leasing Agents for Maritime Landing

The Federated Companies, a leading national real estate investment and development firm, is pleased to announce that it has selected The Dartmouth Company and WRE Commercial Brokers as the exclusive retail leasing agents for Maritime Landing. Maritime Landing is The Federated Companies’ one-million square foot, mixed-use development project in the Bayside neighborhood of Portland, Maine. Peter Considine of The Dartmouth Company and Jay Wise of WRE Commercial Brokers will market and lease the retail segment of Maritime Landing on behalf of The Federated Companies. The combination of WRE and The Dartmouth Company gives Maritime Landing a local as well as a national and regional perspective in the deal-making process.

Maritime Landing encompasses seven lots of land totaling 3.25 acres, is conveniently located on Somerset and Elm Streets, providing easy access to downtown Portland, the historic Old Port, and I-295; and is less than one mile to the University of Southern Maine campus. Plans for the project include approximately 97,161 square feet of retail; a 96,000 square foot full-service hotel; 554 luxury housing units, and a 1,060 space public parking structure. The development is shadow-anchored by Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, has excellent street visibility, high traffic counts, ample street parking, and offers highway signage opportunities. Construction of the project’s first phase is scheduled to commence in April 2012.

“We continue to be excited about Maritime Landing, and are confident that the combined area and retail experience of the team of The Dartmouth Company and WRE Commercial Brokers make them the best selection for this project,” said Nick Wexler, Chief Operating Officer of The Federated Companies.

“We are thrilled to work with The Federated Companies on such an exciting project,” said The Dartmouth Companies’ Peter Considine. “Given the ideal location and size of the space available, we believe that Maritime Landing will be one of Portland’s most desirable retail locations.”
